What makes a smart building truly smart?
What makes a smart building truly smart? It’s not the technology installed on day one, but how effectively it supports the people who operate, maintain and occupy it throughout its lifecycle.
Together with colleagues from Wates Fit Out and SES, and industry peers, we held a roundtable to explore how our understanding of smart buildings is evolving. The discussion examined how AI is reshaping building performance, why adaptability is becoming essential as occupier needs change, and how collaboration across design, construction and facilities management is key to delivering long-term value. Ultimately, the consensus was clear: smart buildings aren’t defined by the technology they contain, but by how well they continue to perform for the people who use and manage them.
